ABOUT MAIN LINE ART CENTER

Since 1937, Main Line Art Center has enriched the lives of artists of all ages, levels and abilities, as well as art appreciators, by offering high quality visual arts experiences through classes led by professional Teaching Artists, exhibition opportunities, artistic development and networking opportunities. Main Line Art Center's mission is to inspire and engage artistic creativity for all ages and abilities and to celebrate and strengthen the essential role of visual art in community life. We are guided by our core values: respect for individual creativity; a belief that everyone has the ability to learn and appreciate art; the belief that art is essential for balance and enrichment; and that that art is a catalyst for building community. The vision of the Art Center is to maintain and further enhance its unique culture of creativity in the visual arts. The art program explores traditional art forms while embracing innovative, forwardthinking, and contemporary ideas. Our strength lies in welcoming new techniques and new teaching methods that encourage people at all levels of ability in the community to create and appreciate art. Classes and workshops are offered yearround in areas such as painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry making, and printmaking. The Art Center offers up to ten annual exhibitions, including stretch and community exhibitions and seasonal fine crafts shows, that feature the work of established and emerging artists, many of whom are Members, faculty, and students.

Whether you teach in the classroom, as a home-schooling parent, a scout leader, or at an after-school program, making books is an activity that kids of all ages enjoy. It develops mechanical and practical skills like measuring, following directions, and sequencing; it challenges organizational abilities; enables ownership and authorship of a project; advances literacy and provides a crossover between right- and left-brain activity. This workshop introduces three basic book-binding formats with numerous variations. Well make an accordion book to use for a photo album, timeline, pop-up, or a travelogue. With a pamphlet binding, well transform a narrative format into a conversation or debate and add simple inclusions that help the artist interact with the reader.

TEEN STUDIOS
Teen Studios provide young artists (ages 13 to 18) the opportunity to study specific mediums in-depth with professional artists. Students build upon technical skill as they expand their imaginations and prepare for a career or further studies in the world of visual arts. Classes are small enough to provide individualized attention and critiques so that students can create work they are proud of and that can be used for portfolio packages for college or art school admissions. The studio schedule is flexible for busy teens and features one- or two- week sessions in the morning, afternoon or early evening throughout the course of summer.
